Arizona State Sun Devils (official thread)

[NFBuck]

They hired football Abe Simpson, meanwhile, the coach they should have is down the road in Tucson. Ouch.


"I have to recruit during the season? We'll see about this. I tersely worded letter to the NCAA should rectify this tomfoolery."

Fantastic analogy!

Might be a joke but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he honestly doesn't know this.

But Herm Edwards is a "football guy" who really, really likes football. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Perhaps it is all a joke and he is intentionally making fun of himself. If it is, that seems like a pretty bad idea to me. In that profession, there will always be more than enough people who think you're a moron, no matter what you do..... it probably isn't the best idea to help them gather ammo to use against you.

I’ve always said that Herm seemed like a nice, intelligent guy... and then ESPN turned him into a clown. He can’t seem to shake the clown act ESPN persona so far in his new job. Maybe he will eventually.

In all seriousness, I think they might get better results had they hired any one of maybe half the members of BP. At least they have a basic understanding of college football, which is far more than Edwards seems to have.

If they were looking to hire ornery old Jets coaches, they should have hired Rex Ryan.

>Rex is hired Jan 1
>Jan 2, immediately calls Chip Kelly a pussy
>Jan 3, insults all U of Arizona alumni population

Fast forward to Spring Camp

>Day 1, Rex is pleased with defense
>Day 2, Res is THRILLED with defense, begins calling them "The Wall" in a nod to POTUS

Fast forward to November

ASU finishes 5-7, misses a bowl game.

11W had a blurb on Herm this morning. He was talking recruiting.

Oh my

This will end well.

On a houseboat?

 

[Dryden]

This is how you do it. Statement from the head coach so it's not all put on the kid leaving the team.



For fucks sake how is Ohio St so bad at handling PR 101?

Arizona State punter who declared for draft, signed with agent, went undrafted… granted waiver by NCAA to return to Sun Devils

Thanks to Arizona State football, we have something never seen before. Ever (we think).

Back in January, Michael Turk gave up two years of eligibility with Arizona State football to enter the 2020 NFL Draft early. The punter signed with an agent. Then promptly went undrafted.

After Turk went undrafted, though, ASU went to the NCAA to seek a waiver that would allow Turk to return to the Sun Devils. The school’s reasoning? The coronavirus pandemic cost Turk the opportunity to work out for NFL teams, thus causing his draft stock to plummet. Not only couldn’t Turk work out privately for NFL teams, but ASU’s Pro Day was canceled because of the pandemic as well.

That tack worked for Turk as it’s now being reported that a special waiver has been granted by the NCAA. One that should be granted to every player who leaves early and goes undrafted, incidentally. But that’s another story for another day.

Turk came to Arizona State as a transfer from the junior college ranks as part of its 2018 recruiting class. Turk’s uncle is Matt Turk, the former NFL punter who spent one year of his professional career with a New York Jets team coached by current ASU head coach Herm Edwards.

As a redshirt sophomore this season, Turk was tied for 11th nationally and led the Pac-12 in averaging 46 yards per punt. For that, he earned first-team all-conference honors. He was also named as a handful of semifinalists for the 2019 Ray Guy Award.

Turk, though, won’t be handed his old job back without some competition. Last month, Florida State punter Logan Tyler transferred into the Arizona State football program.

As had been the case the previous three years, Tyler served as FSU’s starting punter in the 2019 opener against Boise State. However, Tyler was involved in an automobile accident back in August and was under investigation by the Tallahassee Police Department for driving under the influence. Tyler served a two-game suspension in Weeks 2 and 3 in connection to that off-field situation.

Or he's a moron for leaving school early as a punter. Get the degree, you'll need it.

Arizona State's Jackson He, believed to be only Chinese-born player in FBS, scores 1st TD

Friday night's game had long been out of reach when Arizona State's Jackson He scored on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Arizona State's players acted as if he had just scored the winning touchdown against rival Arizona.

A walk-on, He is believed to be the only Chinese-born player in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and the Sun Devils have celebrated his heritage by putting his name in Chinese on the back of his jersey.

The redshirt junior entered in the fourth quarter Friday and, after Rachaad White stepped out at the 1 to give his teammate a chance to score, bulled through a defender into the end zone for what Arizona State said was the first touchdown by a Chinese-born player in FBS history.

He pointed to the back of his jersey and was mobbed by teammates after the score. The support continued with tweets from around the world, long after Arizona State's 70-7 road victory.

"I've already received a lot of messages," said He, who picked Jackson as his American name because he's a Michael Jackson fan. "I strongly feel their love for this game and for me. I'm so grateful."

Doesn’t matter. Got laid by agent’s hooker.

In addition to allegedly hosting recruits on campus during the dead period, there are other potential recruiting violations the Sun Devils are facing. Those were not mentioned in the report.
